Newborn babies need to sleep often, however they do not sleep for a long time like adults do. As a parent, you must respond quickly as possible to your baby’s sleep needs. You have a choice whether you can put your baby near you or let him/her sleep alone just as long as you always remain nearby. It is also good if your baby is swaddled in a baby blanket. Moreover, it is better if you held your baby is close to your body to get your baby sleep better.

Babies feel safe and comfortable with the warmth of their parent’s body. Remember, babies sleep easier when he or she feels comfortable and familiar with the surroundings. If your baby refuses to sleep alone, don’t worry because that’s normal. Your baby will develop the habit of sleeping alone with practice.
